You are judging yourself and showing pride about the outcome.

I agree that yes it would be one of the ultimate sins. And I emailed you just so you know.

NOTE:
(this is moreso directed to an earlier reply)
Do not associate this pressumption with being Pride.
Pride is a sin because you are putting yourself before all others. Now, if your presumption takes you to THAT level, then yes it is sin. Another thing that could lead you to sin is the basis for which you stake your presumption on. If you presume because you go to church, then you are denying yourself. Demons have gone to churches as well. If you presume because you haven't shot anyone or did anything illegal, then you are denying yourself.
Presume because you believe in Jesus and follow him examples on how to live your life.

No way. Heaven is right to all Christians. We were proud of it and it's not to disgrace others. The promise of heaven is a relief to every Christians because we carry our cross spiritually just as Christ did in flesh and being proud of it is not a sin. Chosen were the offspring of lord and every other will get an unbiased judgment as our lord is a judge of truth.

Eph. 2: 8, 9 says "By undeserved kindness, you have been saved through faith; and this is not your own doing, it is a gift of God - not because of works, lest any man should boast."
The entire provision for salvation is an expression of God's undeserved kindness. There is no way that a descendant of Adam can gain salvation on his own, no matter how noble his works are. Salvation is a gift from God given to those who put faith in the sin-atoning value of the sacrifice of his Son.

Those who have accepted the atonement provided are not judged and are by faith already new creatures and our pride is not in anything that we accomplished as it is a free gift of God.
Is it better to be judged by an unrighteous God? I would have a serious problem with following your doctrine that an unrighteous man is found blameless and if your God is righteous and you are not where does that leave you on judgment day? This is why Jesus taught he is the only way ot the Father. It is the reason God named him Yeshua which is salvation because he would save his people from sin.If Jesus is the only way why do you reject him? Isn't pride when you say you have acomplished you own salvation by your good works?

Nah. Cotton-polyester blends and allowing adulterous woman to live are the things we really need to be worried about.

Their bible says, " Pride goeth before destruction and a haughty spirit before a fall".

Exactly.
Which is why I never claim that I'm going to Heaven, only that I'm continually working on it.
Some days are better than others in that regard.
